It is Childhood Years that Haunt in Dreams, 1997

Visual Conception: The composition brings together the black-canopied boats of Jiangnan water towns, whitewashed walls and dark-tiled roofs rendered through bold ink forms, and lively accents of green willows and red blossoms.

Artistic Style: Blending the poetic sensibility of traditional Chinese painting with Western modern abstraction, the work interweaves rich ink dots and fluid lines to evoke nostalgic memories of the artist’s childhood in the Jiangnan water towns.
